Check this link so you know what im looking at http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/index.php?cPath=60_87_88
Im talking about the Phosphor-Bronze washers.
Anyway, i know it's the 3/16 inch one, but theres 5 different kinds of those, so i don't really know which is best. Are the Thicker ones better? As in the .5 x .197 x .2 washers?
And also, are phosphor-bronze washers superior to the others? according to KnifeKits.com , theres also nylon washers and nylotron, which i assume is a cross between nylon and teflon.
EDIT: And... i just read the site a little better. it seems that the ones i was thinking of ( the .5 inch outside diameter ones) were probably gonna be too big for a bali of any kind. and, i seen that the one right before it had the same thickness, so it probably doesnt make all that much difference which ones i used.
but back to my question, which one should i use? the big ones might be better, but would they stick out of the sides? and does thickness matter all that much? i like my bali's on the tighter side, so im guessing thicker ones would help that. as would bushings, but i have no clue how to use those.
